Past Tense in Polish
Poland-Timeline-PolyglotClub.png

Hi Polish Learners! 😃


➡ In today's lesson we will learn How to construct the PAST TENSE in Polish.


Happy learning!

Introduction

Like the Polish Future Tense, the Polish Past Tense has two aspects, perfective and imperfective, and is shown with the same pairs.

Polish past tense will tell you person, number, gender, and aspect.

Basic rules

Basic rules are as follows: Directly after the verb stem, you can have e (or nothing) which indicate the person or object is masculine, a, which indicates feminine.

There's also i which indicates at least one or more Animate/living male persons, or y which indicates no animate/living male persons. Directly after these you may have m, which indicates first person, ś which indicates second, nothing, which indicates third singular or third plural, śmy which indicates first plural, or ście, which is second plural.

Polish language-past tense - perfective and imperfective

Singular Number

  • 1st person: masculine, feminine
  • 2nd person: masculine, feminine
  • 3rd person: masculine, feminine, neuter

Plural Number

  • 1st person: masculine , not masculine
  • 2nd person: masculine, not masculine
  • 3rd person: masculine, not masculine
